Run The Hook 5K/10K 2018

Run The Hook is a 5K/10K race at Sandy Hook National Park, NJ in support of local charity Clean Ocean Action. A portion of proceeds from the race go directly to the charity so they can continue to work to improve the quality of our local bodies of water. The race is fittingly situated on a less than 1 mile wide peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Sandy Hook Bay giving runners an opportunity to run in a truly unique and natural setting. The race has sold out in advance in its first two years and is expected to do the same in 2018. Sign up today!
